Here is this background to the murder in 1995 of writer
and international Goldman environmental prize winner, Ken Saro Wiwa, and 9 campaign colleagues, at the hands of the Nigerian
State, who are the business partner of Shell Oil there. The World's civil society groups were outraged at the state sponsored
murder and hold Shell accountable for using its govt business partner as criminal thug and shield from local and growing democratic
criticism of very extensive oil pollution causing widespread misery and death in the Niger Delta.

The founder of ecology action remembers the global
disgust at the time both before and after the political thuggery and resolved to make a difference to Shell's profile here
and abroad to raise accountability of this rogue amongst many rogue multinationals.

Some useful links of other global
activist organisations who reacted in the same way follow, and below that primary campaign materials for Australia, including:

- an interview with a Nigerian refugee with direct lessons for Australia as to predatory nature of Shell who unsuccessfully
tried to take over Woodside Petroleum here, Australia's largest oil and gas producer based in north west Western Australia;

- lengthy submission to a Parliamentary Inquiry in NSW by our founder into Shell's quite alarming oil spill in Sydney
Harbour in 1999, which is a pattern for Shell elsewhere
